AZUMA HITOMI – Tokyo

That was how I found the album – I just searched for la la larks, and this came up. Like I mentioned in the post for “Nichiyoubi”, there’s a second disc with remixes, and this track was remixed by la la larks, the band that School Food Punishment vocalist Uchimura Yumi joined after the breakup, along with School Food Punishment sound producer Eguchi Ryou among others. Again, I’ve uploaded streams for both versions.

WARNING: ADJUST VOLUME BEFORE PLAYING

Tokyo
Lyrics: AZUMA HITOMI
Composition: AZUMA HITOMI / Hosomi Sakana

Once I’ve gone out the ticket gate and we meet at the place,
As though it’s the most natural thing in the world,
I turn to those eyes that reflect a scene I’ve never known, and then we kiss.

I want to laugh and play, but I’m just spacing out.
Silence after the rain…
All that comes down is happiness,
And the affection doesn’t stop.

We can just keep our eyes closed, so don’t go to sleep.
I want to talk to you until we’re tired, so let me hear the sound of your voice.
A magic spell or anything will do, so let’s at least pray not to forget.
In Tokyo, the place where you are, tonight’s sky is beautiful.

From what place were you looking at the peach-pink sky?
I know that we’re connected.

Around this time tomorrow, I’ll be all alone.
The days will go back to how they always were.
As much as I try to hold on, I feel like you’re about to disappear
From within my arms.

We can just keep our eyes closed, so don’t go to sleep.
I want to talk to you until we’re tired, so let me hear the sound of your voice.
A magic spell or anything will do, so let’s at least pray not to forget.
In Tokyo, the place where you are, tonight’s sky…

We can just keep our eyes closed, so don’t go to sleep.
This isn’t a dream; our chests were pressed together so close it almost hurt.
Even if it’s the last time, please, take me with you,
Riding on the bus of the dawn to the city you’re going to.
